Formatted it in 7Hi ?

Had problems with Pretec on a 5i, even after formatting on 5i, only gets half the mem capacity.

Sell ur camera and buy a new one...

A D60 can work with Ridata.. I'm VERY sure of it.. buy buy buy

I think you have to format it with the 7hi. After you insert it, try going to the MENU and format.

This is what the manual of my D30 says:

pg 109 of the manual:
CF cards formatted and used with other cameras, computers or peripheral devices may not work correctly on the EOS D30. In this case, format your card on the EOS D30.

I assume it would apply to most cameras as well. Go format it in the camera.
